Paperie Tour: The Stationery Kit

Today's project hits all my happy buttons. Not only do I get to kick off the Paperie Blog Tour, but I get to share a project with you that involves so many of my favorite things:

1. adorable fabric that is inspired by both vintage style and classic literature
2. simple patchwork
3. a small but useful item
4. stationery and office supplies

Is it any wonder I'm smiling today?

I was so thrilled when Amy asked me to be part of the tour to celebrate the release of her Paperie collection for Art Gallery Fabrics. As you know from the EPP kit I shared with you last month, I had already purchased a fat quarter bundle of Paperie before she sent me more for this project. These prints are just the sweetest. I love the light colors, the vintage yet modern vibe, the quotes from some of my all-time favorite stories. Is there anyone out there who can resist Jane Eyre and Pride & Prejudice? Not this girl...

I had originally planned to make a Constance Organizer, but lately it's been so fun to shrink some of my old tutorials down to smaller, cuter versions of themselves. This little Stationery Kit absolutely stole my heart when it was finished, and now I want to make a whole lot more of these...so yes, a tutorial is probably coming soon. My favorite part is probably that little envelope on the inside -- just the perfect size for stamps, paper clips, or even little love notes.

Amy is generously offering to send a charm pack of this darling fabric to one lucky winner, so check out my account on Instagram @fabricmutt to enter. If for some reason you're not on Instagram and would still like to enter the giveaway, just leave a comment below telling me so, and I'll make sure your hat is in the ring.

As a health and fitness professional who has worked in gyms for over five years, I have gotten to know a lot of people and have watched their progression, or sometimes lack of progression, with their exercise routine. I have watched members of the public join the gym come three times per week every week consistently for three years and see little to no improvement in their physique. Whilst I have seen others join up and watched as they got results in as little as two months.

What a beautiful stationary kit. I send a lot of Birthday Cards (& Christmas Cards) - love the little pocket to store the stamps. I don't have instagram, but would love to enter the giveaway - love the soft look of the Paperie Fabric. Thank You!

I can't wait for the tutorial for that project! My daughter loves writing and drawing in little notebooks and this would make the perfect gift for her... I'm not on Instagram but would love to participate please.

Oh wow! I'm in love! Your project is the combination of two things I so dearly love! Nana Co and stationary! Eeek! I do not have an instagram account, but I sure would appreciate being entered into the giveaway! Thanks for the blog post and pics - looking forward to a tutorial! Have a great day!

Heidi, your project is lovely and the fabrics are so charming!! Very tempting...Unfortunately, I am not on Instagram, but would love to be entered for a chance to win. Many thanks for your inspiring project!!

I am not Instagram, so yes, please put my hat into the ring for a chance to win the lovely fabric bundle. I love your little stationary kit and would so love to make one or two, so when you have a tutorial for it, I would like to know. Your stationary kit is so adorable. Thank you for the opportunity to win. Joyce joycemarlane@aol.com

How fun...I am not on Instagram, but would love to be entered in the give-away. I'm back to working with fabric, a new machine and recently retired. So sounds so fun. Happy to find all the blogs listed and will enjoy the reads. Thank You.

I love little things. I am new here and will sub to you.Goodness. Yes yes I love this fabric too. I could see making my 92 year old mama a little booklet like this to keep her papers together. Yours turned out devine

Wow it's darling! I was going to comment and was surprised by all the comments and figured there must be a give away. I love the snap and the idea of having my stamps and writing stuff in a fabric book (like I love the needle books)!

I'm not on instagram, though I wish I could figure it out! :-) I love your little stationary kit: I'm thinking it might make a good sewing kit! :-) I have your book, so I need to go look at it and see which project that you made it from! Thanks for sharing! Hugs, H in Healdsburg
